Universität Potsdam Arbeitsgruppe Prof. J. Koetz Influence of Hydrophobically Modified Polyelectrolytes on Nanoparticle Synthesis in Self-Organized Systems and in Water Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades "doctor rerum naturalium" (Dr. rer. nat.) in der Wissenschaftsdisziplin Kolloid- und Polymerchemie eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Potsdam von Carine Note geboren am 02.03.1979 in Saint-Saulve Potsdam, im September 2006 “L'Homme n'est qu'un roseau, le plus faible de la nature, mais c'est un roseau pensant”. Blaise Pascal, Pensées, 1670 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the people, scientists, technicians, friends of mine, who help me, directly or indirectly, during these three years, to achieve my PhD and to enjoy the life in a new country. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank Prof. J. Koetz (University of Potsdam) for giving me the opportunity to do my PhD thesis in his group, and offering me the chance to work at the interface between the polymer chemistry and the colloidal chemistry. I am particularly grateful for his scientific insights, supports and the numerous discussions on practical and theoretical subjects.
